Builder-grade ridge vents and starter strips are the early failure points on these roofs, and often it's a repair rather than a replacement. Trees are the inland roof's main enemy — limb impact and debris damming valleys cause more claims than wind alone.
On cost: reinspection is free from our partners; if the dispute escalates to appraisal or a public adjuster, those are paid from the recovery, not up front.
